I seem to see less posts than in my lemmy instance. Is this normal?

Thanks!
I don't think Mbin and PieFed were search options as of my last-use attempt. That's some good news.

That said, it doesn't look like the query box does anything just yet in PF-mode. Perhaps it's in progress? I poked around the GitHub a bit, but couldn't find anything obvious. (couldn't even find a change-log or equivalent, for that matter oO)

Yep. Seems like the implementation is not fully done yet. Might be a good idea to open a new issue in their github repo.

That's probably not going to happen

I think I'd make an offspin of this project, as the current project is centered around only Lemmy, I don't think I'd be willing to build in global search as a thing in this project.

This kind of explore features should be built in the software the way Piefed does it with https://piefed.social/communities

Relying on external tools is always going to create this kind of issues

Oh, I realised just now that you'd commented further:

Hell, yes.

It seems to me that while this might only be a 'lurking' issue for now, in the larger sense it's a huge, honking issue for our beloved, imperfect Fediverse. That is-- the smaller the FV-entity, the greater the need to be easily discoverable by larger FV entities, particularly as the 'little guy' passes a certain threshold of longevity, quality content, good general behavior, etc.

I do wonder how much this issue is on peoples' minds across the FV...
